Usability TestingUsability is a quality attribute that assesses how easy something is to use.
Usability is important because it is a necessary condition for survival – if your product is difficult to use, people will abandon it.
Testing is done to improve usability and consists of asking representative users to perform representative tasks and observe what the users do, where they succeed, and where they have difficulties.
